Malcolm Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 If you will post the serial numbers, I think someone can tell you the year. If the paper label is still on the back, you will find them there. Some models also had them punched into the back edge of the side or top panel. Heresys have the drivers mounted from the back of the motorboard (from inside the box). Heresy IIs have the drivers mounted from the front. If you remove the back, Heresys should have K-77 or K-77-M tweeters. Most have K-55-V squakers, but some of the last have K-53-K and maybe another model. Woofer will be K-22 of some version unless it has been replaced. Heresy II drivers are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 jedro: It looks like they were manufactured the 28th week of 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyandduke Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 Jedro, These are 1984 Heresys, which are Heresy 1's. From my understanding, "type" on the sticker on the back of the speakers refers to the wood and finish combination. I just got a pair of 1984 Heresys, type HWO (Heresy-walnut-oil as it was explained to me), but I don't know what HBB stands for. I posted a similar question a few weeks ago and received some very informative responses. Check page 2 of the technical questions section for the topic entitled "Info. on older model heresy speakers?". I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy your heresys as much as I am enjoying mine.

bobbyandduke Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 Jedro, I just got an E-mail explaining the letter designation on the Klipsch Heritage speakers. It is as follows: 1st letter = model: H=Heresy/ B=Belle Klipsch/ C=Cornwall/ LS=Lascala/ K=Klipschorn 2nd letter = veneer: B=Birch/ O=Oak/ W=Walnut/ M=Mahogany etc 3rd letter = finish: R=Raw/ O=Oil/ L=Lacquer/ B=Black paint HBB is Heresy, Birch veneer, painted black. Hope it helps! Thanks to Bill for E-mailing this information to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely have Heresy II squawkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
